Transferring files wirelessly between iOS and PC isn't as easy as it is with Android. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch though, you can get a similar experience by using the Secure Shell (SSH) file transfer protocol. The process basically requires running an SSH service on your iDevice and accessing it with any SSH client on your PC. In what follows, we will discuss how you can quickly create an SSH connection between your iPhone and your desktop PC for no-frills file transfers. Read More

mRemoteNG is a fork of the mRemote application, which is a multi-tabbed remote connections manager. mRemoteNG allows viewing remote connections that can be established by using multiple protocols within a single tabbed interface. The supported protocols include RDP (Remote Desktop/Terminal Server), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), ICA (Citrix Independent Computing Architecture), SSH (Secure Shell), Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and Raw Socket Connections. mRemoteNG also provides some additional features (other than remote connectivity), which include port scans according to a specified IP address range, verification of active and dysfunctional components and the option to organize and save a connection list.

Everyone hates to lose their carefully accumulated iPhone data and apps, something which can occur quiet frequently on jailbroken iOS devices with a new firmware/jailbreak release. While it is easy to backup your media files and apps, especially with the kind of integration iOS 5 enjoys with iCloud, some things still don’t fall under iCloud’s protection. One such category of data items present on jailbroken devices is Cydia apps and tweaks, and their preferences. There is no easy and straightforward method of keeping a log of your tweaks, or backing up the settings you have chosen for each individual Cydia app. Granted, there have been tweaks around that allowed you to do this, but it gets even easier with OpenBackup, a newly-released Cydia tweak.

If you have an iPhone and you are a fan of the Cydia store, then surely you know about the jailbreak tools out there, including redsn0w, sn0wbreeze and the like. iFaith is another name which is no stranger to the jailbreak community. It is a tool that can be used to save SSH blobs of your iOS device, using which you can later revert back to an older version of iOS. SSH blobs can be thought of as an imprint of everything your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch is, in terms of hardware and data. With iOS 5, it has become impossible to revert back to an older version, but with iOS 5.0, you can use the latest version of iFaith (v 1.4) and restore your device to its older state with ease. This can prove to be a crucial choice if your iPhone is not factory unlocked and you are using it as a hacktivated device. Saving your iDevice's SHSH blobs prevents your iPhone's baseband from upgrading, keeping it on one that is compatible with ultrasn0w or Gevey SIM.

GUI based SSH session managers provide convenience of managing SSH based communications and data exchange between two hosts. Since it becomes a bit hard to first initiate communication and then keep track of data being sent and received from a CLI based tool, many users keep GUI based SSH session managers handy to quickly establish connections with hosts. SSH Tunnel Manager is a GUI based front-end for SSH commands to open secured tunnels between hosts. It can manage and keep track of as many tunnels as you add into it. Once added, it lets you enter login details, host address, port number with options to include local and remote redirections.

Looking for a PuTTY manager which can run multiple instances of PuTTY? PuTTY Tab Manager is probably what you’ve been looking for. It’s a small PuTTY manager which lets you run and manage as many PuTTY sessions as you want from tabbed interface. For those who are not familiar with PuTTY, it acts as client for SSH, Telnet, raw TCP, and rlogin protocols, enabling user to store hosts, gain control over SSH encryption and port-forwarding with SSH while supporting AES, Blowfish, DES and public key cryptography techniques to add security layers to connections. PuTTY Tab Manager actually does nothing except managing multiple instances of PuTTY. All it requires is to specify the source path of PuTTY to select active PuTTY sessions and to add a new SSH/rlogin/Telnet connections.

FileZilla is the most popular free open source cross-platform FTP client. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS.

WinSCP is an open source FTP and SFTP client for Windows only. It main functionality is secure transfer of files between local and remote computer. Apart from this, it has a build-in file manager and file synchronization functionality. It addition to SFTP, it supports SCP protocol and uses SSH(Secure Shell) for secure transfers. What makes it unique is the fact that it is based on the implementation of FTP protocol from FileZilla and SSH protocol from PuTTY.
